    An infinite number of identical capacitors each of capacitance 1\[\mu F\] are connected as shown in adjoining figure. The equivalent capacitance between A and B is

    A)  \[1\mu F\]                        

    B)  \[2\mu F\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2}\mu F\]                      

    D)  \[\infty \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     This combination forms a G.P. \[S=1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+...\] Sum of infinite G.P., \[S=\frac{a}{1-r}\] Here a = first term = 1 and r = common ratio\[=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \]  \[S=\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{2}}=2\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{C}_{eq}}=2\mu F\]
